    A Topology of the Present

    by Byung-Chul Han ...
    Translated by Daniel Steuer ...
    Untrammelled neoliberalism and the inexorable force of production have produced a 21st century crisis of community: a narcissistic cult of authenticity and mass turning-inward are among the pathologies engendered by it. We are individuals afloat in an atomised society, where the loss of the symbolic structures inherent in ritual behaviour has led to overdependence on the contingent to steer ... Read more

    Upheaval in the Lifeworld

    by Byung-Chul Han ...
    Translated by Daniel Steuer ...
    We no longer inhabit earth and dwell under the sky: these are being replaced by Google Earth and the Cloud. The terrestrial order is giving way to a digital order, the world of things is being replaced by a world of non-things – a constantly expanding ‘infosphere’ of information and communication which displaces objects and obliterates any stillness and calmness in our lives.Byung-Chul Han’s ...

    A Journey into the Garden

    by Byung-Chul Han ...

  • Capitalism and the Death Drive

    by Byung-Chul Han ...

These tumours endlessly metastasize and grow with an inexplicable, deadly vitality. At a certain point this growth is no longer productive, but rather destructive. Capitalism passed this point long ago. Its destructive forces cause not only ecological and social catastrophes ... Read more

  • Absence

    On the Culture and Philosophy of the Far East

    by Byung-Chul Han ...
    Translated by Daniel Steuer ...
    Western thinking has long been dominated by essence, by a preoccupation with that which dwells in itself and delimits itself from the other. By contrast, Far Eastern thought is centred not on essence but on absence. The fundamental topos of Far Eastern thinking is not being but ‘the way’ (dao), which lacks the solidity and fixedness of essence. The difference between essence and absence is the ... Read more

  • The Scent of Time

    A Philosophical Essay on the Art of Lingering

    by Byung-Chul Han ...
    Translated by Daniel Steuer ...
    In his philosophical reflections on the art of lingering, acclaimed cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han argues that the value we attach today to the vita activa is producing a crisis in our sense of time.

  • Hyperculture

    Culture and Globalisation

    by Byung-Chul Han ...
    Translated by Daniel Steuer ...
    In the wake of globalization, cultural forms of expression have become increasingly detached from their places of origin, circulating in a hyper-domain of culture where there is no real difference anymore between indigenous and foreign, near and far, the familiar and the exotic. Heterogeneous cultural contents are brought together side by side, like the fusion food that makes free use of all that ... Read more
